The fully authorized biopic will premiere in 2025 as part of the network&#8217;s Voices of a Lifetime movie slate which includes previously announced<em><strong> Mary J.

Toni&#8217;s unwavering support helped Lisa learn how to take control of her professional and personal life. This true-life story of two best friends who refused to allow themselves to be destroyed by the entertainment business is filled with twists and turns and ends triumphantly as the two refused to give up on their dreams.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4287098895\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Can You Feel the Beat: The Lisa Lisa Story<\/strong><\/em> is produced by Swirl Films with Tracy &#8220;Twinkie&#8221; Byrd, Lisa Velez, Toni M\u00e9nage, Abbey Sibucao, Ron Robinson and Eric Tomosunas serving as executive producers.
